St. Lorenz Church (Lorenzkirche) Nuremberg

The church is built in the Gothic style. Construction probably began around 1250 and was completed around 1477. The towers are 81 meters high. It is in the center of Nuremberg.

The Lorenz Church holds a rich treasure trove of sculptures and altarpieces from the late Middle Ages. It is open daily and can be visited for a (compulsory) donation.

The Lorenz Church was badly damaged in the Second World War, but was completely rebuilt within a few years. The church can be visited from Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. A donation of €2 is requested. During the visit, friendly staff will speak to you and, if you wish, you can learn a lot of interesting things about the church. I find the many death shields inside the church particularly interesting. The tabernacle and the angel's greeting are also unusual.
